Field Trips
In the Company of Kids offers Schools, Groups, Homeschool co-ops and other organizations the opportunity to join us on field trips.  You may come to us, or we can come to you!  Programs are designed to fit your needs.  Some themes would be a "Magical Theater Experience"  students are the stars and participate in acting, singing, dance and create a short skit using costumes and props.  Another would be a "Dance Exploration" .  Various styles of Dance would be introduced and taught along with routines.  These are just a couple of ideas, we are creative and you can leave all of the work to us to design just the right field trip program for you! 
Ages 3-up are welcome.
 
Scouts want to earn their badges?  1-2 hour classes can be scheduled so girls and boys can earn their badges.   Call Bonnie at 952-736-3644 or email at bonnie.companyofkids@yahoo.com

Mission Statement

 
It is the mission of "In The Company of Kids" to encourage learning through artistic methods that are individually meaningful to ALL students, including special needs.  We provide quality, innovative programs in a safe, clean, family-friendly, fun environment.

We envision a place where all people, young and old, could learn about the joy, freedom, and power of embracing the Creative Spirit. The Center provides opportunities to develop self confidence and awareness through artistic and creative experiences and enhances communication and understanding in a non competitive environment.  Students learn life-long skills in communication, social skills, problem solving, confidence building, etc.  We offer performing opportunities to ALL students in a number of Community events, Programs, Theatre, and end of the year performance. 

The Staff of In The Company of Kids are committed to giving our students the best chance to discover and develop their own creative potential and to find ways to share those gifts with the world.

We invite you to join us on this great adventure of community spirit, creativity and the celebration of life!
We open our doors to open minds.
